Biochromoendoscopy: molecular imaging with capsule endoscopy for detection of adenomas of the GI tract
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Current capsule endoscopy (CE) provides minimally invasive technology for gastrointestinal imaging, but has limited ability to discriminate different polyp types. Near Infrared Fluorescent (NIRF) probes activated by biomarkers upregulated in adenomas (e.g., cathepsin B) are potentially powerful tools to distinguish premalignant or malignant lesions from benign or inflammatory lesions.
